Oprah (appearance)

In October 1994, I appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Chris Hannon (who I worked with in Boston to pass the Gay and Lesbian Student Rights Law). The epic guest list included Hannah (and her homophobic tormentors), Jody, (who believed he could change his sexual orientation), LGBT college students (who received death threats), homeless teens from an LGBT shelter in Los Angeles, Anthony a gay teen who reunited with his father, and students from the Harvey Milk School, among others. The taping took place at Oprah’s Harpo Studio in Chicago and was broadcast nationally.
